This one is in Lee's tuning if you wanna play along in acoustic. Get a good tuner change th A440hz calibration to A432. His manager sent me this it's legit. Open chords... Feeling is A F# D, middle 8 is A D F# (for the fall) Feelin is E with the 1st string plucked for the bassline, chorus is A / G E x 2, F sharp falling back to E Ask me if you want any more T X

bless you. Dont pervert yourself with knowledge. I taught myself guitar, Take shere she goes. you know the dark bit in the middle? Middle 8 refers to the kick drum, 8 instances, and the rest of the instruments (especially the gaps) fill that in count it on your fingers or on a table or in your head, Usually a middle 8 is because songs are four kicks four times (verse) then a chorus then more verse then the middle Middle 8 is simply a reference to the middle section's beats. It can be different. It don't even have to be there. be FREE music have NO RULES but when it works you know it works. In feelin', middle 8 is Cammy or Barry's guitar solo the notes in it match the notes Lee sings in the verse, therein lies the genius And when it finishes, I call that the "fall" I dunno I taught myself theory If I can you can too! But to answer.. a middle 8 is the middle 8-bar length of music that splits a song in two. There She Goes is special as some think it starts with a chorus Fuck that shit. I just want people to know how to play it The middle 8 in Feelin' is when Lee stops singin and the solo starts. the chords change to make it darker, the voice is gone but the lead guitar lifts the melody over everything I hope this helps T x
The songs flow as natural as a flowing river into the sea. Pure talent and natural ability. There’s no acoustic MTV session that is as good as these sessions. Acoustic brilliance and technically a high standard of playing. It’s just so effortless and the vocals are bang on stunning. To go back and hear this is kind of bitter sweet. One can’t help feeling that “so much was wasted”. The sad thing about time is that you can’t rewind it and you can never go back. What a band!!❤️🙏🎼.x
Words can't describe how good the La's were. They may not have stayed for as long as us la's fans wanted but they created some of the best music known to man and I for one am thankful they gave us what they did
Thanks for sharing. Not many songs by the Las, but lots of recordings like this that surpass their studio recordings. I like them best in little live jam sessions like this. That's what makes them so interesting; every time they played it was different; they always looked for a new sound.
I think all bands around that time and since would struggle to get that raw and authentic sound The La's achieved. Their music sounds proper Northern and so bloody full of feeling.
Lee was real troubadour and a true band leader. His rhythm playing was phenomenal and the band was so tight because of it. Just watch him playing 'Son of a Gun' on stage - look at that right going like the clappers! And John's voice is the perfect complement to Lee's. They were conduits for musical magic and it's such a shame that we never got to hear more of it. Rumor has it that Lee's been trying to perfect that first album ever since, just like Brian Wilson's still trying to perfect 'Good Vibrations'.
The La's have to regroup and perform for a farewell concert for Goodison before Everton Fc move to the Docks. Proper band, proper football club, proper City.
For the first time, I’m getting a sense of what Lee was after. This sounds several decades more ancient even that the late-eighties it is. Dragged out of sone much older epochal time. When all you had was pure rhythm & a few stretched bits of animal gut.
Something happened to Lee.... I don't if it was drugs or what, but you listen to Lee speak here and he's just like a regular guy, then you listen to him in 1991 in that Japan interview or whatever it was and he sounds like he's been possessed.
@@1878Originals for me arrogance is a tell tale sign of insecurity, so being humble is definitely a state of mind you find when someone is doing what they want to be doing/achieving their own idea of success.
My first thought was drugs, if you watch that Japanese interview he’s rocking back and forth constantly and is constantly fidgeting with his fingers. It’s hard to know for certain though.
In my opinion I think he went mad at that point due to a combination of Disillusionment, OCD like tendencies and Heroin. I agree with you something changed inside of him. That Japan interview is almost hard to watch people in the comments were saying it was either Heroin withdrawals or something to do with Autism but I'm no expert on either so I really don't know. Only Lee knows the answer
Have you heard the 'unreleased' version (one that got pulled) or the 2 Meter Session, 3FM version? Just curious, as I'd rate them superior - but understandable if this is still your personal favourite.

Can I ask what a middle 8 is Tone? I'm into song writing but don't really know what I'm doing ha, no music theory or anything. Cheers
+ToneGarvey great help cheers!
bless you. Dont pervert yourself with knowledge. I taught myself guitar,
Take shere she goes. you know the dark bit in the middle?

then the middle
Middle 8 is simply a reference to the middle section's beats. It can be different. It don't even have to be there. be FREE music have NO RULES but when it works you know it works.
In feelin', middle 8 is Cammy or Barry's guitar solo
the notes in it match the notes Lee sings in the verse, therein lies the genius
And when it finishes, I call that the "fall"
I dunno I taught myself theory
If I can you can too!
But to answer.. a middle 8 is the middle 8-bar length of music that splits a song in two.
There She Goes is special as some think it starts with a chorus
Fuck that shit.
I just want people to know how to play it
The middle 8 in Feelin' is when Lee stops singin and the solo starts. the chords change to make it darker, the voice is gone but the lead guitar lifts the melody over everything
I hope this helps

I just can't stop coming back to Lee's music and its magicical pull.
Electric skiffle from the Merseysippi delta.
Love it. There is something about the la's that I'll never get sick of.
The songs flow as natural as a flowing river into the sea. Pure talent and natural ability. There’s no acoustic MTV session that is as good as these sessions. Acoustic brilliance and technically a high standard of playing. It’s just so effortless and the vocals are bang on stunning. To go back and hear this is kind of bitter sweet.

Imagine what could have been.
my mind just cools down every time i hear these songs... super awesome songs...
Words can't describe how good the La's were. They may not have stayed for as long as us la's fans wanted but they created some of the best music known to man and I for one am thankful they gave us what they did
100% talent. It's the tunes, la'. John Power was the perfect foil for Lee.
Yes!
A real clockwork, hypnotic feel with the la's, they were unique in a way
What way is that la?
EVERY way?
Thanks for sharing. Not many songs by the Las, but lots of recordings like this that surpass their studio recordings. I like them best in little live jam sessions like this. That's what makes them so interesting; every time they played it was different; they always looked for a new sound.
I wish Lee would give us another album. It's been nearly 30 years! I haven't even been alive that long!
To quote Lee when Noel Gallagher asked him about that, "I'll do it when I've finished the first one."
I think all bands around that time and since would struggle to get that raw and authentic sound The La's achieved. Their music sounds proper Northern and so bloody full of feeling.
No wonder Lee hated the official recordings. This is how they're meant to be heard, no effects, straight forward bliss.
the la's... effects?
@@lennon1482 Well...yeah. Have you not listened to the album? The last track, for example?
@@hux2000 looking glass? what ones exactly
Ah, always love coming back to these lads at the end of the day.

"have you played any of those oxford balls?" what a strange question
great, unique voice (Lee M)
this is fantastic.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOOKIN' BRILLIANT! X
Back to listen again.....I keep coming back....
true legends. raw as fook .
Just wonder how many songs Lee mavers wrote. If I look like him at 58, after going through similar shit. I'll be more than happy
Beautiful :D x
just wish they'd done a few more..those merseycats were-a- cookin'

Tina Heslop I'm a Utd fan but even I'd put on an Everton shirt for the day to see that! No better band ever
Great idea!!x
Why not, The Stone Roses reformed and played at the Etihad lol.
@RollingPeople97
same here .... this timeless melody version is the best I've heard
untouchable at that time
Bloody brilliant!!!
Brilliant! Thanks for uploading!
I owe you. Such a good tune. All the tunes are the class though. I just get that feeling
For the first time, I’m getting a sense of what Lee was after. This sounds several decades more ancient even that the late-eighties it is. Dragged out of sone much older epochal time. When all you had was pure rhythm & a few stretched bits of animal gut.
You mean the '60s?
@@blakemcnamara9105 skiffle was 50s
wasn't the Summer of 89 , this was January or February 1989 live on the show between 7-8pm
Cheers!
is right terry! the word was boss I remember the sepultura fans in the cage
ETERNOS...
This is the true la’s sound I think
Class act.
Class
Boss this.
Lee..1 mic recording the backing. Overdub guitars and track some lovely reverby vocals....then release..simple..takes 2 weeks .
Something happened to Lee.... I don't if it was drugs or what, but you listen to Lee speak here and he's just like a regular guy, then you listen to him in 1991 in that Japan interview or whatever it was and he sounds like he's been possessed.
He seemed quite humble too.

In more ways than 1 he's channeling the spirit of Skip Spence, IMO.

Effortless
Biblical
Wonder what “small pockets keep it talking” means?
“We’re poor & trying hard” ?
keep the bongos going
Why didn't they just release albums of sessions instead of trying to recreate the sound in a studio?
I agree!
This is pure diamond! Thanks for posting.
